Located in Washington, D.C.’s Adams Morgan neighborhood, Mintwood Place gives nod to both French and American cuisine, with an emphasis on local ingredients throughout the Chesapeake Bay area. With ties to both countries, French-born Cedric Maupillier, Mintwood’s executive chef, seems like the ideal fit.

In this “Table 42” vignette, brought to you by the Foodable Network, Chef Cedric takes us into his kitchen, complete with a wood-burning oven, to show us the magic behind this French-American marriage. Watch the full episode to learn why Chef Cedric’s first cooking experience was a forced one, how he landed in Washington, D.C., and more.

The way it works

Our Foodable Top 25 restaurant rankings are not hand-selected or chosen by an editor. These lists are based off of unstructured data from Foodable Labs, which tracks over 171K restaurants and brands, and calculates data based on the mass social audience across multiple markets and countries. The Foodable Top 25 drills down into the local-social audience, or geo-located social actions, in each respective city or market we cover. We seek the real social impact of what people think about the experience of your restaurant at the local level.
